AMUSEMENTS.
GEO. c. MIN.


Geo. c. Min has opened his sixth season
with larger success than any that has at
tended his earlier seasons He is winning
golden favor too, everywhere, The most
austere critics OF the east cOncede that his
| powers and finish as a tradedian are rIneX-
/ celled by any other tragedian of the times.
AS one Of them recently wrote, "Miln's
portrayal's Of great Shakesperean charact-
ers are simply marvellous" He is splendid
" supported also by Miss Adele Payn,
Mr.. W. \. Griffith and a company of
thirteen persons, all chosen for the season.
Othella is cast for Friday evening, Nov.
II, and on Saturday evening Richard III
Hamlet at Saturday matinee,
CRAwFoRD's.
The play the opening night of Mag
gle Mitchel's engagement here was Lit
tie Barefoot" The audience was large,
and could hardly have shown more enthu-
sasm. Miss Mitchell assumed the title
role; and, as this is one of the parts SO well
suited to the buoyant qualities of her act
ing, to say augbt OF her impersonations
would bG5 ada 20 the many favorable crit
/ lclSms already received. Her support was
one OF unusual strength and it would be
difficult 10 single out even one as not fully
capable to the part assumed. Mr. Chas.
Abbott gave all excellent impersonation
| of the lover; Mr.. Galloway as Jenny
was good, his makeup as the indolent
| half-Witted brother was simply exquisite.
! Miss Andrew, as the wilful ovcrbearing
/ Rose was, too, a deserved, appreciated
rendition. Mr.. McClaine made the typical
! farmer; and Mr.. Sterling as the match
making kiepenansor was well done. OF
course the central figure and the life of the
play was Little Barefoot Her simple
and touching story, as told 10 Jemmny, of
their early life was natural and pathetic
The waltz scene was bright and gay, and
her interview with old Farmer Peace in the
last act was charming piece Of acting.
Her performance is one OF those that can
not lie described but must be seen to be ap-
preciaJed.
Tonight "Lorle or the Artists Dream,'
will be given. OF this the Cleveland Plain
dealer saws:
We are of the opidon that Miss Mitchell
makes a mistake in not becoming more
thoroughly identified with the character of
LOrle. IA no other role does she present
picture more true TO life, more wildly re-
alistic, i'll TACT and more attractive in ey-
cry sense AT no time during the week has
her acting called out SIch genuine eathu-
SlaSm aS that manifested by the audience
last evening. Her support was exceedingly
good. EvenneSS among her associates is
one of the characteristics OF her manage
ment and it is difficult on tha account to
select any one particular member of the |
company Tor special commendatIOn
MUSEUM.
Mr. Lucassi and Miss Lovenburg are do |
ing 4 duet this week, Introducing the vio- |
lin and musical tumbler accompaniment !
The novelty and accuracy of the turn pro-
duce a striking and pleasing effect. FUN
on the Bristol is more than was promised |
and a continual litter IN the audience from |
first to last proclaims their satisfaction. |
May Smith as the widow Mcintosh as
the ''nigger," and Robins. as the count" |
makes great cast, while the support is |
more than good. The management will |
have to hustle" to keep up the present |!
standard.
